In spring 1991, a student follow-up survey was conducted to assess the reasons for students not returning to Westchester Community College (WCC) in New York. Students who had been offered financial aid and chose not to return were specific targets. Of the 196 students in the total sample, 49.0% were male, 41.3% were White, 33.27% were Black, 15.8% Hispanic, and 5.6% Asian/Pacific Islanders. A total of 99 students were reached by telephone and an additional 7 students returned a mailed survey, for a combined response rate of 54.1%. Study findings included the following: (1) 43.4% of the respondents had attended WCC to prepare for transfer to a four-year college, 34.0% to prepare for a career, and 9.4% to improve job skills; (2) 76.4% indicated that they had not achieved their objectives in attending WCC; (3) 18.9% left WCC to go to work and 17.0% to attend another college, while 13.2% could not afford to continue, and 10.4% indicated academic difficulties as their reason for not returning; (4) 33.0% did not intend to return to WCC, 44.3% intended to return within the next year, and 11.3% were undecided; (5) asked whether they were enrolled in another college degree program, 77.4% indicated that they were not, and 18.9% that they were enrolled full-time in a degree program; (6) 37.7% of the respondents were working full-time, 21.7% were working part-time, and 16% were looking for work; and (7) five services were ranked as either "very good" or "good" by 75% of the respondents: "open space on campus,""admissions,""faculty,""financial aid," and "the registrar."
